Daddy, daddy, please come back to me Daddy, daddy, please come back to me Your mama's lonesome as she can be You left me at midnight, clocks were striking twelve Left me at midnight, clocks were striking twelve To face this cruel world all by myself Woke up at midnight, sad and blue Missed my daddy from my side Left alone to bemoan my fate That's why I'm sighing, crying, I just can't refuse I feel so troubled, heartbroken, too Woe and misery I can't hide At twelve o'clock I unlock my hate I've got the meanest kind of lonesome midnight blues
